“Excellent flight with Chris. It was a low wind day, so we had to wait for about an hour before we could take off. During that time, we sat under a tree and he chatted with me about all kinds of things. By the time we were cleared for take off, almost all of my fears were gone. Notably, it seems as most flyers that day (including me) were airborne before reaching the ledge so that part about jumping off a cliff was definitely less scary than one might imagine. Highly recommend this company.”
